In this paper, we study the dynamic phase transition for one dimensional Brusselator model. By the linear stability analysis, we define two critical numbers ${\lambda}_0$ and ${\lambda}_1$ for the control parameter ${\lambda}$ in the equation. Motivated by [9], we assume that ${\lambda}_0< {\lambda}_1$ and the linearized operator at the trivial solution has multiple critical eigenvalues $\beta_N^+$ and $\beta_{N+1}^+$. Then, we show that as ${\lambda}$ passes through ${\lambda}_0$, the trivial solution bifurcates to an $S^1$-attractor ${\mathcal A}_N$. We verify that ${\mathcal A}_N$ consists of eight steady state solutions and orbits connecting them. We compute the leading coefficients of each steady state solution via the center manifold analysis. We also give numerical results to explain the main theorem.
